Christmas 2013

Spoiled.  My little girl is so stinkin' spoiled.  Spoiled with toys and clothes...and some hot pink, glittery Uggs.  But more importantly, she's spoiled with LOVE (mushy, I know).

What every little girls needs

We took Sienna up north for the holidays this year to spend time with our families.  We packed up our car with bags, gifts and Joba and headed to CT and NY for a nine day trip.  We spent the first few days at my parents house where Sienna rocked several Christmas outfits, played with friends, and met Santa - and did not cry!

With Santa!

On Christmas morning, we packed up the car again and made the five hour trek to upstate NY to spend the remaining days of our trip with Joe's family.  Sienna was quite the popular one - everyone wanted to come see (and meet) her!  She had so much fun rolling around and playing with her Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie and Great Grandpa.

CF didn't dampen our holiday spirits.  We actually barely thought about it at all aside from the "please wash your hands" request to everyone who came to meet Sienna and some questions around how she is doing from family and friends.

I'd say our first Christmas as a family of three was a success.  Sienna was loved on by so many!

I do try to remind myself to live in the moment and not worry about what future Christmases will look like (will she be healthy? will we have to spend it in a hospital?), but sometimes it is hard.  It's one of the tougher things about CF.  All is great today; but what will tomorrow bring? 

But we will continue to remain positive and cherish every moment with our little girl.  We will continue to spoil her with love and good memories.  We will continue to fight the CF battle with courage and determination.
